Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

You should know that weakness of your hands is not related to the lumbar spine. In fact it can be explained by cervical spine degenerations or spinal canal stenosis in this levels.
Other possible causes to consider would be polyneuropathy, especially considering the fact that this is a common complication of sarcoidosis.
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a cervical spine MRI study and a nerve conduction study for polyneuropathy.
You should consult with a neurologist and discuss about these issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
